RE: French 'Yellow Vests' Push For Anarchistic Evolution? Referendum Initiated by Citizens?

in #news6 years ago

He's absolutely correct. We are powerless in the face of government. We need to drop all the left/right nonsense and realise that we're all on the same side, which is against the state's abuse of power. It's very clear from the disgusting treatment we see in the video being meted out to the protesters by the police exactly what those in power think of the citizen.

@deirdyweirdy Totally agree the left/right paradigm is nonsense and that we need to unite against the state's abuse of power, but we are not powerless in the face of government. That is the lie they want us to believe to keep us enslaved. We may feel powerless in the face of government alone, but the power of the people united as one against the government or any other tyranny is the most powerful force in the world. It's why the MSM spends day & night keeping Americans distracted & divided. The people don't realize their true power.

I totally agree with you and that's what I was trying to say in my less than articulate way. We are powerless because we don't stand together. If we could just forget all the nonsense that we've been persuaded divides us and realise that we are all of us enslaved, we could likely change things very quickly.

hehe :) My bad... You're so right! You might find the following video interesting, regarding the power & ability of just 1 dissenting voice to influence & empower a good percentage of the people around us who, until that 1 voice broke the silence, felt entirely powerless. Even when we are seemingly all alone, just 1 voice or 1 single act of dissent has the potential to be far more powerful than we perceive in breaking people out of the herd/crowd mentality, and this has been demonstrated in scientific studies. I found the topic very interesting, feel free to check the video out, it's by Black Pilled YT channel:

Have a great weekend!

Totally agree, the left/right nonsense is the first thing we need to change. I chat with a lot of so called "intelligent" people about politics and they are trapped in the left/right paradigm.

I feel it's worth the effort to try and break people free from this one thing, if everyone did this, we will start getting somewhere.

I feel it's important to re-member that 'government' is only an idea that has been perpetuated through enough people with enough resources to mean that it has taken on an intimidating form. Step one is understanding what inTIMIDation actually is and healing our fears there. Once we are feeling grounded it is possible to take the necessary steps to improve life peacefully. We are not powerless in the face of government, we are powerless in the face of denial. That said, many in governments may view us as powerless and that is part of what allows such exploitation. I personally do not see any possible solution here as long as artificial hierarchy is allowed to continue.
